LEADING drive solutions provider, SEW-Eurodrive, will demonstrate its total solutions approach for the manufacturing industry on stand 4806 at National Manufacturing Week 2008, which will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour, 27 to 30 May.
The company will exhibit elements from its electronic, electro-mechanical and mechanical solution set, which make up the complete end-to-end drive solution-set.
According to SEW-Eurodrive engineering manager, Frank Cerra, Australian manufacturers are increasingly seeking out ‘one-stop’ drive solution providers.
“Most Australian manufacturers don’t have the resources to engineer individual drive system components into complete solutions,” Cerra explained.
“More and more, manufacturers are demanding world-class drive solutions, from the gearbox through to the drive electronics, from a single supplier,” he said.
“We work closely with a variety of Australian manufacturers and OEMs to develop end-to-end drive solution sets,” he added.
Centre-stage at this year’s exhibition will be the company’s new CMP-series of locally assembled servo motors. Providing a lower-torque complement the CM-series servo, the new CMP-series servo is said to offer advanced dynamics and accuracy in a compact form-factor.
Like the CM-series, the three-phase permanent-magnet CMP-series servo is fully assembled in Australia, allowing fast turnaround on complete servo packages.
The company will also launch the next evolution of the Movitrac Lte series of frequency inverters, the Movitrac Lte version B, which is said to be ideally suited to low-power variable-speed drive applications, such as small fans and pumps, machine tools and conveyors.
It is designed to be fast and easy to set up, boasting an integrated DIN-rail snap-in mounting capability, plus 14 standard and 26 extended configuration parameters.
Visitors to NMW will also get a sneak preview of the company’s soon-to-be extended DR series of energy-efficient induction motors as well as the PLC/motion controller hybrid, Movi-Plc.
Specifically designed to support members of the frequency inverter solution set, the Movi-Plc product family combines both conventional PLC control and ’motion control’ into a single compact platform.
Accompanying the MOVI-PLC, will be SEW-Eurodrive’s renowned MOVIDRIVE ‘B’ application inverter.
This advanced unit offers Australian manufacturers and OEMs an application inverter of optimal versatility, processing power and cost-efficiency, and is available in large power capacities.
Other products on display include a selection of the company’s X series of industrial gear units.
